There are twelve shirts in your closet, five blue and seven green. Four of the blue shirts and one of the green shirts fit well.

The others are too big. You randomly select a shirt to wear. It is blue or is too big. Find the probability of this occuring

Answer:

  • P (blue or too big) = 11 / 12

Explanation:

A two way table permits to represent the situation clearly and find the answser is an easy way.

The two way table is that results from the given information is:

Initial information:

                     Blue           Green         Total

Fit well             4                  1                 ?

Too big            ?                   ?                ?

Total               5                   7                12

Now by subtraction and addition you can fill the unknown fields:

                     Blue           Green         Total

Fit well             4                  1                5

Too big            1                   6                7

Total                5                   7                12

Now, you can see that there are 5 blue and 7 too big shirts, but the total number of them is 5 + 7 - 1 (because one of the too big shirts is also blue).

Then, the number of shirts being blue or too big is 5 + 7 - 1 = 11.

And the probability is :

  • P(blue or too big) = number of blue or too big / total number of shirts

  • P (blue or too big) = 11 / 12 ← answer

You can also realize that there is only 1 green shirt that fits well, and that is the only option of not being blue of too big, so 1 /12 is the probability of not being blue or too big, and its complement (being blue or too big) is 1 - 1/12 = 11 / 12.

Tammy decorated her art project with 12 different colors of sequins if she used 15 of each color how many sequins did tammy use
lbvjy [14]
We are given that:
Tammy used 12 different colors of sequins
Tammy used 15 sequin of each color.

Therefore, to get the total number of sequins that she used, we will multiply the number of colors by the number of sequins of each color as follows:
Total number of sequins = 12*15 = 180 sequins

A mirror is made of two congruent parallelograms as shown in the diagram. The parallelograms have a combined area of 9 1/3 squar
Vika [28.1K]
Given:
2 parallelograms with an area of 9 1/3 yd²
height of each parallelogram is 1 1/3 yd

Area of parallelogram = base * height

We need to divide the combined area into two to get each parallelogram's base.

9 1/3 = ((9*3)+1)/3 = 28/3

28/3 ÷ 2 = 28/3 * 1/2 = 28/6 yd² or 4 4/6 yd² ⇒ 4 2/3 yd²

Area of each parallelogram is 4 2/3 yd²

4 2/3 yd² = base * 1 1/3 yd

14/3 yd² ÷ 4/3 yd = base

14/3 yd² x 3/4 yd = base
14*3 / 3*4 = base
42 / 12 = base
3 6/12 yd = base
or 3 1/2 yd = base

a) the base of each parallelogram is 3 1/2 yards
b) we can assume that the two parallelograms form a rectangle.
area of a rectangle is length times width.

length is 3 1/2 yds * 2 = 7 yds
width is 3 1/2 yds

Area of rectangle = 7 yds * 3 1/2 yds
Area = 7 yd * 7/2 yd
Area = 7*7 / 2 yd²
Area = 49 / 2 yd²
Area = 24 1/2 yd²

In △XYZ, m∠Z = 34, x = 61 cm, and z = 42 cm. Find m∠X. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
Elza [17]
M∠X = 54.3°.

Using the Law of Sines, we have:
\frac{\sin{Z}}{z}=\frac{\sin{X}}{x}
\\
\\\frac{\sin{34}}{42}=\frac{\sin{X}}{61}

Cross multiplying gives us
61(sin 34) = 42(sin X)

Divide both sides by 42:
(61(sin 34))/42 = (42(sin X))/42
(61(sin 34))/42 = sin X

Take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹((61(sin 34))/42) = sin⁻¹(sin X)
54.3 = X
